UKCA Chemistry and Aerosol Tutorials at UMvn13.0
UKCA Chemistry and Aerosol Tutorials at UM vn13.0 using Rose & Cylc
The following tutorials will teach you how to use various aspects of UKCA, and the parts of Rose (the Unified Model's python-based user interface) that are specific to UKCA. These tutorials will begin with using the UKCA Box Model before using UKCA within the Met Office Unified Model
